[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1056463, member: 14668"] Back in the day there would be 4 or 5 of those Ford 300-6 engines sitting on the floor of the shop, strapped to pallets, brand new from the factory and waiting to be installed. One peak I threw a connecting rod out of the bottom of the oil pan of the P-600 I was driving-- totally destroying the engine---only to find myself in the same car the next morning with a brand new motor in it. I think that removing and reinstalling an engine was something like a 6 or 7 hour job at the most. Ive always had a fondness for the Ford 300-6 engine; I got my drivers license in a 1967 Ford friend-100 with the 300-6, manual steering, and 4 spd manual with granny gear for first. I also lost my virginity in that truck. A few years later when I got hired at UPS, driving a P-600 was pretty much like being in high school again. [/QUOTE]
